Now, why did I know someone would say that?

Still, if you look at it in a metaphorical rather than romantic sense, one could say that Sauron scorned Galadriel by denying her the use of Nenya's power. Since "scorn" means to to reject or dismiss as contemptible or unworthy, she might have looked upon Sauron's betrayal as a dismissal of her worthiness to rule a realm of her own in Middle-earth, a feeling that her inability to use Nenya for years could well have compounded.

Well, one could look at it that way, anyhow.
